The Social Network [2010]

I never a big fan of Facebook. I signed up similar social network account prior Facebook existance (MySpace, Friendster, High 5, etc), never really hook on it. all my accounts out -dated (or closed), I only use it if someone out there asking for it (they want to send new info, chatting, etc). But as a former student Computer Science and was majored in Software Engineering, certainly I've been exploring this kind of stuff. Facebook for me still the coolest and friendliest compare to the others and certainly most widely use.

So, film about creation of Facebook certainly will make a huge interest to me. Since I'm no longer cinema -goer these days, I was patiently wait for 'the copy' released.

This film based on 'true' story of Mark Zuckrberg, a founder of Facebook. How the idea sparked, friends and enemy he made through out the short journey before he became the youngest Billionaire in the world. The story are very much straight forward but well written. The acting are superb, notably Jesse Eisenberg. Overall, it's very well made and certainly this film are my Top 3 for 2010 alongside Black Swan and Inception.

Mad Men (Season 4)

I just watched the finale of 4th season of Mad Men (on AMC Channel).

The debut season are quite dire, but showed some promises. I've take a long break before resume the 2nd season, and surprisingly it's becoming more interesting and interesting. 3rd and 4th season maintained the continuity and it fast becoming my favourite series. I'll anticipate the 5th season greatly.

My prediction for 5th season.

Sterling Cooper Draper Pryce (SCDP)
This agency will rise and prosperous after disaster spell in the end of 4th season. Don geniuses will drive them forward.

Don
Don sudden proposal to Megan are shocked outcome to most audiences. Dr Faye seem the perfect match for Don, but Megan stole Don's heart when she nannying Don's kids during trip to California. I dont think Don-Megan relationship /future marriages will last longer. Megan didn't seem as a right woman to tame Don, but I don't mind to see this prediction goes wrong. I fond her character especially seeing her bonding with Sally (and Sally acting are really great)

If Don becoming more responsible and faithful man, this the sign for the end of this series.

Peggy and Joan
They seem to form good alliance. Woman's power to aid Don or to conquer SCDP for themselves. Peggy continue to rise and be an instrumental part for the company. Dr Harris die in Vietnam and Joan continue her life as a tough single mother.

Roger
He will fulfill his dream 'to die on 20 years old wife'.

Betty
She will realized no matter how bad Don to her, marrying Henry are not the right move for her and her kids. Betty will have an affair with another man or find her way to Don again.

Pete
He will quit SCDP and form /join another company. He'll be clash head-to-head with Don, and Don's dark secret will be at risk.

Ustaz Amirul [2011]

Its been quiet a while I watching local drama. The last drama series I watched are Nur Kasih (not on TV). Read a lot of hype about this drama, but to be honest i think it just so-so. What-so-called 'Islamic' only based on appearance of the few women characters, wearing a Jilbab. Other than that, it just a mediocre and stereotype Malay love drama, painted with Middle East background and tunes.

Last Friday, i made an effort to watch another similar kind on TV3. I dont think this one can surpass Nur Kasih, but jury still out. Maybe I expect too much though.
